- Japan is seen as a very progressive country by most, but sometimes they so incredibly stuck in the past that they create absolutely absurd news like this one.

Imagine the old ass men making these rules like "ponytails are TOO sexy, we need to do something about it"
As almost 2 metres tall, over 100kg heavy, long bearded guy with a ponytail i consider this whole topic a compliment, but i wont succumb to the oppresion. Ponytail people rejoice! (though i am form Europe....)
Tbf as a relatively big build male people keep mistaking me for a girl with ponytail lol
lmao
literally the same as my country censoring cow udder on TV.
@@ninjaugal3832 wait what?
This just sounds like punishing girls for being harassed by men.
THANK YOU. It’s even worse when you realize that women can’t even physically defend themselves because the harasser could file suit if you hit, smack, or beat the crap out of them for touching you 😒 It’s backwards bullshit when women can’t speak up because society shames the victim instead of the harasser/attacker.
it happens so often, even in western countries.
this is why the west is in shambles, rather than understanding the stupidity of the rule you just use it as an excuse to be sexist lol
@@erika8349 Can they actually sue you if you defend yourself? That’s rough. So what the law would drop the case or is it like a legally valid case?
@@1Raheem Not just sue, If the police are called they will arrest the woman for charges of assult. The only way to charge the guy is if he admits to laying his hand on you first, if he doesn't then it's obviously your fault 😒
"Ponytails are too sexy, ban them."
"Hey, your skirt is too long !"
Excuse you?
Yeah it confusing as kcuf.
@@lonewolffang Did you just spell 'fuck' backwards? I've never seen anyone do that! I should say, it is quite interesting...
Yeha this what I was reading into, they are not protecting the women they are protecting the people who have those disgusting thoughts
@@user-hs4ek6rj4t It's because youtube removes some comments thay swear or something idk which words are banned but they're playing safe
@@SemekiIzuio exactly!! Maybe if they actually focused on making the guy take responsibility instead of blaming the victim
this is insulting to like both men and women.
it's blaming women for their own harassment (i.e only getting attacked because of the way they dressed)
and it's calling men weak-willed and brainless beings whose entire self-control is handled by their lower regions.
like no one wins here.
No one but those creeps
Unfortunately as certain news items which happen nearly every year show, they are weak willed, and it's not just male teachers, there are some cases with female teachers as well.
@@user-yv2cz8oj1k That's sadly true... like it shouldn't be that hard to remove yourself from the situation if you can't control yourself around school kids.
yeah but apparently having no self control over your nether regions is not seen as a bad thing there, because noone is calling these people out for it. So in their eyes, assuming this behaviour is not insultung at all bc that's just how it is. The women, however, should apparently do something about being simply a woman. So in the end, from their perspective, it's actually only insulting to women 🤷
But yeah, I get what you mean. for (hopefully) most men, this would be insulting, too.
And this type of thing is a problem that is still a thing in do many places, it's a mindset that sets us so far back, people pick and choose who deserves justice when the person is still clearly the victim. Hell we got liars still going tf free when they lie about getting assaulted or what, it's a whole mess and that is putting it nicely
Its even funnier when the delinquents wearing longer skirts thing was because they were against fetishization by older men when wearing short skirts so they wore longer skirts as a form of protest, and then japan bans longer skirts entirely lmao.
so freaking depressing honestly
There is a video talking about this
That is so backwards I think they actually time traveled
Japan loves their men but hate the women...
@@bintangaimee9069 is it Mina le video about school uniform?
As a teacher the idea that students wearing something could 'excite' teachers is rather disgusting honestly. Imagine being a female teen having to be careful how you wear your hair or what you wear to avoid your teachers sexually objectifying you. That's fucking scary.
The ban is so stupid. It’s punishing the female students and not actually taking action on the teacher staff.
Why are you believing fake news of foreigners in Japan?
@@Meimoons there is no ban shameless foreigners. Stop believing fake news.
@@boycottnok1466 Joey is literally a half japanese raised in Japan
@@aerodesu Who cares? Also not raised in Japan. There is no sympathy for people who spreads fake news.
The more "taboo" it is, the more exciting it will be if encountered. Shouldn't Japan notice this already?
That's true.
The opposite is also true. White underwear is highly fetishized and after learning it's mandatory (lmao what) I'm starting to realize it's because it's associated with girls who follow the rules and are 'proper'. :s
true :/
@@raccoonchild so in Japan you must wear white underwear?
And how they are supposed to check if someone break that rule
@@Candyy248 They kinda talk about it in this video but they also mentioned that if some mean classmates caught a glimpse of your underwear and it had colors or some kind of design they'd tell on you 😬 so weird
if i ever had a teacher be concerned about students dressing too enticingly, that's a sign that they need to be fired. if you are being sexually enticed by children, maybe i dont want you working in a school full of them. its not the children's fault that you feel that way about them.
iirc in one of abroad in japan videos, a foreign english teacher first rule told to him is to not be attracted to students. Imagine a society that has to tell you that
A lot of these teachers just graduated college. So the age gap is only a few years. Some people get confused by that fact.
@@lopoa126 it still doesn't matter. As a teacher, you are in 1. professional setting 2. in a position of power.
If you cannot act professionally and control yourself, you are awful at your job and should be fired. As a teacher, you HAVE TO be able to reach atleast the minimum standard of not creeping on your students.
@@lopoa126 You can still get fired because it’s not considered professional and there is a major power imbalance. Would you want a boss dating their employees and them pulling unfair favoritism, risk firing, ruined reputation and compromised ability to find work again?
Most schools have regulations about school uniform because teenagers always push the boundaries. When I was a schoolboy in the sixties we had the miniskirt and they kept getting shorter and shorter until the regulation came out.
I think these kind of rules actually create more creeps. Normal things become rare to them so they end up fetishizing normal stuff.
Dude these are just school rules, these people don't live in school and can do whatever they want the moment they leave. Facts show USA has more sexual crimes, more sexual assauilt than in Japan, who creates more creeps then
@Wジョナス School is very important because school is where children learn. Not just about math and science, but also how to socialize and be a part of a community. You might be underestimating how much time kids spend in school. Also, I think you may need to learn more about what women experience in Japan. Saying that the US has more recordings of sexual crimes is sort of unfair because many instances of sexual crimes in Japan go unreported (for various reasons like loopholes in the law, trying to save face, etc.).
@@aiemii Which why Japanese school do the uniform thing to begin with. Students don't see other people as poor or rich or judge them from their apparence or look but as who they are and this is the right way to teach children to socialize and see people for who they are not what they look like. This is why people in Japan live well together and why it has such a weak crime rate in general
As for the sexual crimes unreported is a bit of a weak argument. It is literally a thing you can't prove, I can say the same about the USA that a lot of crimes go unreported and that they are waay more than reported, how would you prove me wrong ?
@@jonasw3945 from what I've read. in japan only 1/25 cases of sexual assault are reported. Whereas in the US, it's the still horribly low 1/3. And issues like victim blaming and lack of action from police are a fair bit worse.
@@Hideyoshi1991 I would be interested in the study that proved this. Can you link it or give me the reference
Following their logic, i hope they ban school uniforms as well, since it is a pretty common fetish there
School uniforms, school swimsuits (which they changed but still get fetished even in their current form)...just ban all girls and women at this point, lol.
They will start cutting feet if they ever heard about Foot-Fetish.
That's so true. If this was really about ""protecting their students"" it would kind of make more sense to give them all a more androgynous uniform. Really weird that wearing longer skirts of all things was/is considered delinquent behavior
@@yowshiii3 Right??? i see in no way how that could be considered delinquent behavior.
They should allow hair tying but change their uniform to tracksuit
Schools everywhere put too much pressure on young girls to do everything in their power as to not "arouse" men. It's suffocating. Why do officials not instead enforce and teach the understanding of consent and strict discipline of bullies.
its the laziest pragmatic solution
Where do you live to say " Schools everywhere"? Genuinely curious.
@@wail2774 This is a problem in every school I have ever been to, and I live in the us. Doesn't matter where you live, this is a problem across the globe. Some schools can be individually worse or better, but I don't really know what you mean by your question, but if your trying to downplay the reality of the situation for anyone based on where they live because of your own personal assumptions then it is greatly unappreciated.
@@rabbitlove1785 i don't see this problem where i live though so it's kinda of an exaggeration to say "everywhere "
@@rabbitlove1785 no no im not trying to downplay anything
Having lived there on and off, this doesn't surprise me. Japan is FULL of old people (old news) with very OLD and OUTDATED mindsets in seats of power. I was gonna write a really long rant (lmao went on a different rant instead), but the point I was going to make is that Japan would rather hide and ignore the ACTUAL problems they have going on as a society over actually taking steps to make REAL SOCIAL PROGRESS. Take the REALLY BAD bullying problems that STILL go on and all too often. Or how their society PUSHES to homogenize their population and ends up *pretty* racist against non-natives and ESPECIALLY towards mixed people. Hell, I've had more than a few friends over the course of my time living there who've been bullied to high hell in Japanese schools, ESPECIALLY if they were mixed race. The only reason I knew them was because shit was so bad and NO adult would do anything about it, that they HAD to switch to an American school just so they didn't take their own lives. When it comes to these really strange new bans and rules coming out, they're hiding behind "its To PrOtEcT oUr KiDs" instead of addressing the larger issues of ACTUALLY protecting their kids, educating the population on SELF CONTROL and personal responsibility, and providing REAL resources for kids and adults to use to help themselves. Mental health and treating women like they're people is a joke there 🤷♀️
"Japan would rather hide and ignore the ACTUAL problems they have going on as a society over actually taking steps to make REAL SOCIAL PROGRESS."
This is basically how Japan approaches ww2
F to that black dude who is a jp native and iirc never learned english, dunno how he survived living there
OLD doesn't mean wrong. Modernity has brought a lot of hedonism and immorality.
@@flavorgod Youth isn't a guarantee of innovation, and age is not a guarantee of efficiency.
yep. pretty much. and thats why mental health as well as sexism is still a big issue there.
Predators will be predators, regardless of the way their victim dresses, wears their hair or behaves.
Also if your adult employees cannot control themselves around children, they shouldn't be around children. The way the children wear their hair is not the problem here.
facts!!! Why make a shitty new rule when the problem is the creepy adults around the children. Why are they there? Why are they allowed to roam around free near the children if u know that they can be pedophiles? Why victim blame females if they never even asked for it?? All they wanted was to go to school, learn and have fun with their friends not worrying about being looked at sexually or stalked or worst, raped. And when you go tell people about what happened they do a full check analyst on ur clothes with one blink and go "Well you were wearing that so... "
theres a muesum somewhere I forgot where / the name but it shows what sexual assault victims wore at the time of their assault.
one was just a diaper.
They shouldn't be out in society, they should be in jail
👏 spitting FACTS
@@amelianekomimi1936 I've seen photos of that as well, alot of them were wearing mundane clothes, one was even a military uniform
Really goes to show that the clothes aren't the problem
Japan truly does live in a society
And this is (well, not actually this 'ponytail ban', itself) one of the many reasons why there is still a declining birthrate in Japan.
@@SpaceWizardCosplay how does a ponytail ban in schools adding to the declining birthrate?

This has nothing to do of how the gvt robbed students from their childhood and teenhood? Does it?
My teacher tells us, that once we enter highschool, we become adults. That's just bullshit. And it's just making all of us feel like we don't have enough time, even though our lives have barely begun
i wonder how their gov will handle if they finally meet the point that their young population is so low they cant support retirees without living like a slave to just living

Don't trust fake news by shameless Joey.
But what if I find thick socks sexy?
@@fnh123 Don't let them wear socks
Ponytails for long hair is really essential,and given how humid it gets in Japan, I’m worried for those girls.
I was thinking about that too. What do japanese girls do during PE? During the typical sports days/festivals? That would get annoying quick, like, running a sprint race and having your hair just whipping around and going everywhere, maybe even drizzling sweat like a sprinkler lmao
@@flaviop5472 head band probably
@@flaviop5472 a knot, perhaps? Those girls need to stand up for themselves
i hate how men blame women for ''sexually exciting'' like bruh its not my fault YOU cant keep your cool.
@@mexyeet6569 yeah, imagine going to a beach and saying you can't control yourself. Just a BS excuse to not see other people as having agency and just sexual objects.
I never once thought of ponytails as lewd, even in anime. How does anyone find that inappropriate??
I can only assume because it ist normalized, all Japanese dress the same. They probably get aroused just by seeing a little action of exposed skin not otherwise seen anywhere in public or anyone else. So they go off on that small detail.
It shows the nape of the neck which as far as I know has always been fetishized over there. Or there's a long history of that at least.
[Edit] I'd say it's a combination of two fetishes since a ponytail usually is long dark hair (their favorite) but tied up.
@@user-is3yn7xr4c really? Ugh that's disturbing...
@@user-is3yn7xr4c That comment is, kind of disgusting. First, you make out that Joey is upset because he wants to fuck schoolgirls and not because ponytails are just an innocent hairstyle that is good for hot weather or sports. Second, you act like pulling a woman's hair (something painful that makes it hard to escape) is okay to affect your fantasies so much that you might actually do that to a girl against her will.
@@user-is3yn7xr4c I used to have really long hair (think Indian) and would have it in a ponytail (long as in past my butt). I live in a black country so I drew attention right away and it was uncommon. lots of perverted comments about pulling my hair like a rope during sex from strangers. disgusting. but that doesn't make me wrong for teh ponytail nor make it sexual. because lots of ppl didn't find the hair style sexual. but the sexually disgusting ppl were teh ones. I imagine it's the same in Japan. those who are aroused either hav a specific feetish, but that can't nearly be enough for many ppl to have it. but maybe just sexually frustrated ppl who have a crush on someone and is projecting
If a ponytail is considered "Enticing," would a braid be considered "maximum nut zone?"
Considering from what i've read in the comments it's the fact that you can see nape of the neck that they find arousing. So more like a very high bun, or better: bald: max neck exposure for max nut zone. I wanted to say nontheless your comment gave me a chuckle, thanks for that! That's why I responded tbh (Also I apologize for my bad english it's not my first language)
@@Minda-art I cut my hair so short that I'm mistaken for a boy. So I'm basically a hot stripper there.
"They're worried boys will look at girls". This is like trying to stop gravity or something. That's the level of stupidity here.
Well...that's probably one reason why the birth rate is declining.
But the gravity is too strong over there.. when they have a women-only train, you realize how serious the problem is
@@nopperabosfathersasshole4944 I question whether or not enforcing more conservatism on the country will improve male creepiness. I feel like when you start smothering parts of human nature, people will try more underhanded ways of satisfying it. Perhaps the reason the creepiness was there in the first place was the general trend of sexual repression in Japan.
its kinda like accusing trees of causing cardiovascular disease and cutting all of them to fix the problem
This is the kind of backwards mindset that lead to forcing woman to wear burkas.
Same mentality. "But the man will look there and there! So cover it."
It’s crazy how Japan simultaneously evolves both forwards and backwards
@@boycottnok1466 But he isn't either though.
@@boycottnok1466 Also, we're not having to trust him specifically. It's widely available news. The schools are proud that they are doing it. Maybe the opinion on whether it's bad or not is against your beliefs, but the fact that the ban exists is not fake news.
@@rinylvinyl It is widely available fake news, that has no connection with reality. Shameless foreigners spreading stereotypes on TH-cam. This video should be banned for fake news. Joey is shame of Japan. There is no ban like this anywhere in Japan except one two stupid school that follows 40-50 year old rules, without change. There are 10000 schools in Japan. One two examples are being used to spread fake news and stereotypes for views. Shameless foreigners.
@@boycottnok1466 Yep, you did not watched the video at all. Get off the internet and touch some grass pal
Harmonious society means conformity not independent.
The video explains who the target is
My school (it was a catholic all girl school) was the opposite - it banned students to have hair covering the neck, so ponytail was a must if you have long hair. Hair too short and boyish was also banned, because it might seduce other students to become lesbians lol
Girls just can't win in school it's crazy. Like so far, when schools have a rule regarding BOY'S hair is because long hair for them looks "informal" or something to adults, absolutely no reason relating to seducing and what-not, but for girls?? All rules practically relates to being "indecent" or making dudes can't control themselves. Sheeeesh
Yes can confirm that's how it works 112%
Cuz that's how you make lesbians hahaha, man idk where anyone comes up with that crap
I don't blame the schools, I blame the parents that allow this to happen.
This garbage is a large part of why Japan is having a problem with students dropping out of school.
[Citation needed]
The sad part about the "to protect from bullying" reason is that we all know that if you can't bully a girl because her hairstyle stands out, they'll find something else to pick on. That's how bullies work, they need to find a target to keep control of their gang.
They use that reason for uniform, like in my school, bare in mind my school's uniform can get pricy if you go to the store the recommend. It didn't stop uniform bullying because you could still tell the poorer students from the richer students.
the collectivist mentality Joey mentioned
like they really give a fk about bullying. Power is never enough.
@@ellusiv5121 and when they get bullied, it’s somehow the victim’s fault for being a burden to their collectivist society - by dint of needing help period.
It’s really ridiculous on how they think sometimes outside of pop culture and tech
I feel like this way of thinking also breeds bullying, cause it gives people more reasons to make fun of people, whereas if there was more acceptance for individuality there would be less reasons. Forcing people to conform just means that if any little thing is different about you that's a reason to be made fun of. That doesn't mean bullying goes away when you have more individuality, but there is maybe at least less. Getting people to be used to differences is better than teaching them to be clones. The more different kinds of people mingle the more understanding there can be.
the scariest thing about this is that actual human ADULTS came to this decision. The kind of adults that are in position to make changes that alter peoples lives. It's actual insanity that these so called ADULTS are in the position they are in making these kinds of decisions.
Yea. The fact that someone came up with this idea and people actually agreed to it. Unreal. What will this solve exactly?
Well, that’s what happens when the government is lead by a bunch of old farts and closeted creeps.
maybe these kind of adults are karen like adults making these decisions
@@thedominate *Male karens. Most of Japan's law makers and school board rule makers etc. people in power are men. Old men. Men in their 40 - 60's.
I guess the rule tells us a lot about the rule-makers…
Thank you for talking about this. This is unacceptable. Blaming women for sexual assault happens all around the world and it needs to stop. Ya no más 💜🇲🇽
Joey, in my 13y.o son's high school has banned Mullet hair cuts on guys because it is usually synonymous with delinquent students. We live in Australia. So it happens everywhere
While I deplore that hair cut I feel it's a slippery slope.
I think many societies are fast becoming like Japan in the whole "the peg that sticks out gets hammered" mindset, as my oldest son got suspended in grade 10 because he tried to step in between and stop his two friends fighting.
Simply because the school has a zero tolerance to fighting. Even though he was doing the right thing.
So now we are punishing kids from doing anything that sets them apart? That is what it seems like anyway.
I'm scared to ask, but how do they even enforce the underwear color rule? Are schools just having staff check under the girls' skirts?
"Hey, Suzui-san's wearing yellow panties today! She's suspended for a week. We don't allow that kind of skanky attire in our school."
Mandatory sniffing.
This reminds me of a manga I read when I was too young to fully understand but still disturbed. Check out Confidential Confessions
that would be soo messed up if they are actually doing that
Sounds like a doujin plot.
I heard some of my friends talk about it on Discord and they said girl staff checks the color I think, but that underwear rule is not that widely spread out if compared to the more stricter rules like skirt length and hair length ig..
It just rings of "victim blaming" to me. Like a woman makes a sexual harassment complaint, and gets told off for inciting it by wearing a ponytail.
Rather than protecting women and girls through proper education and policies, this is just the "easy way" of forcing them all to look as plain and uniform as every one.
In that scenario yes
It does piss me off when I hear/see feminists screeching whenever someone brings up how clothing and going to certain areas at certain times can in fact increase the chances of being sexually assaulted.
@@welshmansam61 Yes ofc how you wear and where you are increases chances of sexual assault. But whose fault is that in the end? What that person was wearing? Or is it the man who couldn’t “control” himself. If I got to a beach and there’s a man in a swim suit I don’t assault them. Or if a man is in a tank top, tight clothes, idk it doesn’t matter because in the end it’s the perpetrator’s fault for assaulting. What someone was wearing or where they were is never an open invitation. Whoever thinks that type of clothes=consent is sick.
@@welshmansam61 How do you justify underage kids getting assaulted then? Do you have a convenient excuse for that too where somehow the blame still falls on the kid?
@@yowshiii3 What are you smoking? I didnt try to justify what those wankers do I said that by wearing revealing clothes you up the chances of being assaulted, that doesnt mean you are to blame for being assaulted because you chose to wear said clothing it just means those clothes did in fact make it more likely to happen.
@@solana_meg214 You initially understood my comment then immediately made it seem like I'm trying to blame the victim.. exactly what the aforementioned feminists always do
This happens every single time I mention this and its getting kinda annoying ngl🤦
If I could have my way these people would be castrated, as for the female perpetrators perhaps a stitch job? Idk
Lol I remember I wanted to live in Japan when I was a teenager, but tbh over the years it got more and more clear that I could never put up with the extreme cultural differences and bureaucracy permanently. Its a nice country to travel or maybe to spend some months in, but I think thats it for me... I'll gladly stay here 🇨🇭
Damn, I would pay good money to have been born Swiss.
Weird. In my high school (UK) we had a rule where girls HAD to have our hair in a ponytail. It was a girls school and we weren’t allowed our hair down. Which was why I ended up looking at Japanese up-do hairstyles to be creative and fun with my hair.
Oh the irony.
The problem isn't the schools, it's the parents allowing it.
Ah yes Japan. A place where technology is more advanced than their culture.
Maybe from your western ethnocentric viewpoint that’s true
And tech pretty much froze in the mid 80s.
Yet so many gentlemen study japanese *cultured fan book*
@@JavierPwns You do realize that this is just generally a hyper conservative viewpoint of "women's sanctity" right? This isn't a western-only idea. If anything, it's more western to limit girls on how they present themselves since that was a big thing that carried over from western countries during the Meiji Restoration. Before then, Japanese culture was fairly lose with sexuality in a lot of ways and, oh yeah, let you have a fucking ponytail lol. Now that's not to say Japan wasn't a conservative nation to begin with, it very much is and was, and in all this is a global issue. Not just western or eastern. A lot of Japan is fairly advanced in a lot of ways, especially with tech, but stuff like this is legitimately just old-fashioned and can be damaging if taken to extremes. And as Joey said, this seems to be moving to a degree of policing that is just absurd and mysogonistic. Like really bro? You think that criticizing underwear color regulations and ponytail regulation is western bias?
Technology frozen in time from 1995
My school in England was very strict on how women looked and it was a comprehensive school, not private. There was even a time when a girl was sent home to change because her skirt was less than an inch too short and could excite the boys.
One thing I was happy to hear was a few years later in a different school a similar thing happened and the boys rocked up to school in skirts in protest to the teachers decision.
Honestly clothing and style is not harming anyone, just let people do what ever they want
All the power to those boys
My friend got resin in his hair and shaved it all off when he was 15 and they put him into internal suspension for over 2 weeks until it grew back. This was the mid 90s and I guess there was still a stigma around skinheads in the UK at the time.
The funniest bit was our IT teacher saying "well fancy cutting your hair so short you can't come to class".
now those guys got Guts
I've heard of a story like this and it's possible it's the exact same as the one you've spoken of.
For sure
In fact controlling these kids on what they can wear can do way more harm actually
Joey can I say how much I appreciate you, as a young guy, speaking out about this? This girl really appreciates it. Thank you man. ❤️🙏😊 I totally agree with everything you said.
This makes me furious. This is sick. It makes me ashamed to be an anime fan. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the public and for wanting to protect your kids from this. Japan really needs to clean up their act on so many things.
You do realize that animators have no involvement with enforcing school regulations, right? You can appreciate a culture and still acknowledge that its country-like every other country-has its issues. Fucked up regulations implemented by a few scumbags in power aren’t exactly a direct reflection of an entire nation and its citizens.
@@salt3685 Animators might not be directly involved in school regulations, but a lot of anime unfortunately promotes problematic concepts. There are a lot of things that show up in anime as a joke that I can't believe so many adults were involved in and had no problem with it. I didn't say I'm no longer an anime fan. I still appreciate the high level of quality that is in a lot of their entertainment. I'm also well aware there is no perfect place and that every country has problems. I never said anything otherwise.
"White underwear only rule..."
There's only one real way to check that this rule is enforced...😒
For us it was kinda like if you get caught then get penalized but most of the time they won't check or care it's like a rule that no one really cares about but if you get caught, you get caught
@@VinatsuYT I'm a bit relieved to hear that, haha! When I heard him talk about that being a rule, I was like ".....!! Did they just invent that rule so the *have* to check someone's underwear??🤨" It sounds so sus.😅

This is very common in India too. Like I studied in a Convent school so we would actually have checks on regular interval basis by teachers to make sure we wore our bloomers under our pinafore. It's disgusting when I realised that it was actually harassment.
Yes, let's not teach men to control themselves! Let's teach women to be scared of how they look! Perfect!
Wow. I can do that too. Let's teach men to be fearful of their thoughts. And encourage women to be even LESS self aware and accountable.

I went to a private school in Australia as well and I remember a lot of th rules Joey mentioned. It really all is about rewarding obedience and punishing individuality, even over here. The school system is set up to do those things first, and to educate second. Worldwide. Japan just takes it a step further.
Meh I'd just told'em where to shove it and did my time in juvi. People need to grow a pair and don't give in. Organize people and say no. Anyone that gives into that crap without a fight deserves it.
I always though of ponytails to be a more "modest" and "neat" hairstyle than a suggestive one..
Japan is truly an enigma sometimes...
Same. In the West having long hair flowing is sexier.
They probably heard of the ponytail kink (an adult kink as in when a girl gives bj and sh*t). Either way it's messed up. Just a hairstyle
I wish we wouldn’t be saying one hairstyle is more modest
Maybe if you are japanese that lives in japan you will also think that ponytails are more suggestive. Culture and society shapes out subjective preferences 😂
the teachers in Bangladesh🇧🇩:"Why didnt you tie your hair?Its school,not fashion show.Tie your hair from next day or I will cut your hair like a boy😂😂"
Women cannot do anything without being sexualized by some weirdo. I mean anything. I've had dudes tell me my glasses turn them on. MY GLASSES. It's like not matter how much you wanna get rid of it, they always find a way.
As a man I don’t understand that either. Like keep that to yourself if you have those thoughts you know? A woman breathes and it’s all the sudden a fetish.
Tbh glasses are like one of the oldest fetishes out there, especially for anime fans. So I'm not surprised.
But what always surprises me is how A LOT of dudes somehow think that telling a random woman that she turns them on for any 'x' reason is a compliment.
Idk how that thought even enters someone's mind and does not process as something entirely inappropriate to say, lol.
I'm a guy myself, I don't see glasses attractive, sure they may look cute on anyone, but not in a sexual way
I like a person for WHO they are, not what they are or what's on them (depends what it is, but I have limits)
Mfs can't control themselves. They'll get turned on by literally anything
You could be a homicidal maniac and still gather a harem of simps. LOL
But how do they wanna check the colour of the underwear? Scary.
I totally agree with you Joey. Everyone should wear what they want.
This just brings up the age-old argument of: Why should girls have to change the way they act, dress, or behave because some boy could POSSIBLY be distracted by it? It's low-key victim blamey and encourages the "boys will be boys" mentality that's just kind of cringe.
Like, If little Billy does terribly in his math class because Sally in the front row is wearing a ponytail, a shirt with spaghetti straps, and is wearing a skirt that's above her knees; then bruh, that's Billy's fault. Obvious take is obvious. But that doesn't make it any less true.
THANK YOU. I was gonna comment something like this omg. The "boys will be boys" mentality is so stupid. Like why are we blaming young girls to be ashamed of their bodies and to blame themselves for someone else's actions??
Exactly and it baffles me a bit that Joey didn't bring this up. And if the problem is predatory male teachers, y'know, maybe fix that problem on a staff level not on a student level? smh my head.
ikrrr and the way they use the phrase ‘to protect them from the male staff’ is so weird, like their first instinct is to do something with the girls and not the pedo teachers...
Yeah why not teach men to control themselves and teach boys how to focus. I hate the "boys will be boys" mentality. Unfortunately it seems a lot of different societies have this kind of problem, and yes if you got a problem with male staff you should be dealing with that not blaming the girls for existing.
I have a "children will always be children" kinda mentality (this was kinda how I tried to justify whatever ppl did even if I didn't understand), but 'boys'....like even if it's true in context, it just doesn't make it "right"
Boys will be boys, but it doesn't mean they can't try;;
but then again, it's hard to think/act otherwise when it's a common mentality, since it'd be unconsciously reinforced to the children anyway....it really relies on where and how you are brought up...
I love how they're trying to impose so many bullshitty rules to "protect women" instead of just calling out the terrible misogynistic behaviours or developing a gender and sex awareness course...
Rules also exist for men not just womern, unlike what the article implies.
"calling out the terrible misogynistic behaviours" they do these too
"developing a gender and sex awareness course" these exist too
@@jonasw3945 Japanese education on this topic is miserable.
@@flutterwind7686 What makes you say that
@@jonasw3945 if they did, then they wouldn’t be banning girls from wearing ponytails because they think it’ll attract boys. The people making these laws need to take those classes honestly.
20 girls in a class and one male teacher, obviously change the entire class rather than have one sensitivity or awareness course for that single teacher...
I'm just imagining girls playing sports and having their long hair sticking to their sweat face and blocking their vision and could get injured from it.
It's hilarious considering ponytails (especially low ones) aren't seen as sexier than havin your hair done here.(and it being straightened or curled especially) All the glow ups happen with hair down, not in a low ponytail lmao. I've seen people that transform with their hair down, they go from someone just existing to someone with a presence (because, WOW, having your hair down changes the framing of your face and can be... flattering!? UNFATHOMABLE!) They gonna ban the bowlcut too or is all the restriction soley for women hmm...-
If teachers from school were trying to discuss with me what colour of pants my child is or isn't allowed to wear, my child would not attend that school.
Forget hairstyles, the pants thing is just plain creepy.
Exactly, what is even the supposed point of that, why would students even look at others' underwear
@@keithengoth3728 the male teachers could get so excited from seeing a bra strip that they might assault them! Those poor teachers :'(

Kind of weird of you saying that with that profile photo...
Especially considering the question of how to enforce the rule...
No matter the society, women will never catch a break. 😒
We're getting there. We started off as not being able to vote and now we're here. It's just I think It'll take few more generations for us to catch a break.
Wait. We're regulating underwear color? Who the hell is verifying this?! Who the hell is writing these rules?
The closest thing I’ve experienced to this was when I wore a long sleeved shirt but the shoulders had a lace like design, you couldn’t even see skin, and a teacher told me to put on a jacket or go to the front office.
A ponytail. Really Japan. Really. Man some of these school rules in Japan are ridiculous to say the least 🤔
its not limited to jp but also korea. they absolutely sht themselves if any of their crap goes wild.

@@user-is3yn7xr4c I just...Think they look cute...That's all...
I now understand why in some anime romcoms the guys will get excited when a girl has a ponytail 🤦🏻♀️ I used to have my hair up all the damn time in school because it was annoyingly in my way. Not once did a guy approach me and say “you look hot in a ponytail” 😂 That’s the most absurd thing I’ve heard today!
Maybe they just don't say it..
Of course, they're not gonna say that they just gonna keep that to their self.
In Japanese traditional clothing, women have their neck exposed, showing vulnerability. Now showing the back of the neck is a feminine thing there. So having your heart race seeing girl wearing a kimono with her hair up makes sense. However banning ponytails is real fucking stupid. It’s so stupid I can’t even put into words how stupid it is.
Keeping it to themselves is the right approach but you dont sound like you're from Japan so of course ponytails have been normalize outside of Japan. Meaning you wont get approached for wearing a ponytail. Besides why would you want to be told your ponytail is hot.
As someone who is Japanese, i am humiliated by this. Japan needs to get their shit together with their societal structure and cultural standards.
The white underwear color rule makes me so angry because you know it's not about "modesty" or safety for girls. If it was, it'd be a rule about wearing spats, biking shorts, bloomers, or even just adding sewn-in shorts to the uniform skirts. Or even more radical: make the uniform pants/shorts for everyone so girls don't freeze in the cold either.
I just think the problem doesn't lie in the ponytail, but instead the people who prey on women in general. Banning ponytails is kinda shallow and stupid once you realize it's almost like putting the blame on the victim, kinda like women telling to "dress up" as if it's their fault that predators do vile shit to them
The message it conveys is also akin to victim blaming - "you might get harassed if you have a revealing hairstyle", as if the harasser wasn't the one to blame.
The harasser chose to harass, therefore it is the harasser that should get punished, not the victim. Like with every choice, there is a consequence (good or bad). If the bully/ harasser doesn't like the consequence, then they must change their ways for the better. If they're a repeat offender then they should be kicked out. Plain and simple. Trust is earned, not given. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The harasser needs to live and learn what is acceptable behavior in society. If they can't handle it, then they're out whether they like it or not. They can come back when they learn how to behave properly. Until then, well, y'know.
@lemonssssssss4 The way you act and dress is your business but if you dress in a revealing manner and walk around at night it kinda skyrockets the chances that something bad will happen.
I'm not saying anyone deserves anything, i'm just saying if i was walking at night with fat stacks of cash or just a phone in my hands chances are i'd get stabbed and have it taken from me.
Obviously you should be free to express yourself but you should also practice basic safety, because no matter how much you call out that behavior and teach people about sex and gender, there WILL still be creeps. They aren't gonna stop just because they know it's bad, they just don't care.
@lemonssssssss4 True that, bad people are gonna be bad people. And it really doesn't matter how you dress or anything, it takes just being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
@@imjustlikedenji5954 THAT BEING SAID, it is never the victims fault either. It should not matter if you are strapped with cash and stark naked - if you get robbed or r-worded it is still not your fault it is only the fault of the offender and they deserve punishment
@@snailart9214 I disagree about being robbed specifically.
If you were walking around with wads of cash out in a dark alley, you actually deserved it. It's basically asking to be robbed.
I would wear a ponytail just to smack the shit out of the principal saying oh this excites you? pathetic. I'll never miss an chance to shame stupid decisions^^
The nail that stands out gets hammered down.
It's ironic how in my school it was the total opposite. Girls were actually told to make pony tail so that they won't attract sexually excited men because of the long scattered hair
For me, Certain hairstyles are only allowed male/female Under Garments must be White (I owned like 18 white shirts cause of this lmfao) , Skirts have to be a specific measurement (basically long af skirts; mini skirts not allowed

@@drballs2523 maybe but you cant use self defense in japan so any cases where a female fights back or even slaps a hand will get thrown out. theres also a very big shame culture where girls blamed for these things even more!

Strongly linked to sexual repression and views on anything not the norm
@@doll7660 Not true, fighting back as a female from a predator isn't shameful and you will get most people arround to help you out. Sexual assault and crimes happen but not as much as the west nor as much as most poeple think. but considering the low crime rate in Japan, these get very easily to the front pages. Actual statistics show they are way lower than a lot of parts of the world including the west

Why don't they just educate their men? This is absolutely disgusting.
I never understood the principal of Banning something because it sexually entices men. Why not teach men to not view woman in such a way. To respect them and learn about consent. Because shaming woman isn't the way to go and this definitely won't create other issues in the long run.
🙌🏼
"Teach man to not view woman in such a way"
Ahah ahahah
But i agree it shouldnt focus on girls. Boys will always look.
Some girls look so good no matter if they covered themselves.
I think that schools shouldnt care who gets sexually excited to what and just focus on education. If theres harrasment by men it should get punished.
If girls doesnt wanna get looks ,well you are in public space. People can look. Either ignore it, or decide what kind of clothing will not get the looks yourself.
I agree, the problem is, that's western thought and culture.... A lot of nations, especially in Asia don't follow or obide to those ideas and philosophies a lot of us in the west think of as natural and common sensical in some cases. They truly tend to lean more to the collectivism side of things rather than individualism. Even very "westernised" Asian nations like S.Korea, still fall in line with these types of societal issues unfortunately...
@@HR15DE And there is nothing wrong with looking, because woman do it to. But there's a difference in casually looking at someone and sexualizing them to the male gaze.
@@tigervalley62 How can it collectively benefit people? It's teaching woman from a young age that men can't control themselves, regardless of age. It also institute fear in the other gender. They need to be as boring as possible as to not attract their gaze. In a way it also de ''femininizes'' them. It's removing them they change to express themselves and be a carbon copy of the next person beside you.
“Attack the victim, protect the predator mentally” going on with this ban.
Or maybe there are no victims and predators and everyone should be equally accountable for their actions.
@@flavorgod sexual harassment is literally so common in japan bruh😟
This news is so interesting and weird at the same time. All these "rules" that were mentioned sounded like they were only female-student related (and yes I could be wrong of course) stuff... That's not protecting your students, that's really "protecting the perverts and bullies" because they're trying with these rules to not let (female) students trigger a reaction from others that could potentially harm them (emotionally and/or physically)... Oh and btw, if you look at developmental psychology: from the age of 12-20yrs adolescence will try to define their self worth, self-image and try to form their identity by social comparison and in social contact with others. So if they don't get this chance while in school, because of these "strict protective rules" it might be easier to make them into "identical clones" at first, but it might also backfire. Because these YA will eventually either stay "muted" and not fight back this communal pressure (which could lead in a identity crisis with possible physical symptoms later in life) or they might go the complete opposite direction and go (to the extreme) to find their own identity. This ancient way of thinking reminds me of when people in the Middle Ages thought children were "tiny adults" that had no rights (except in their first years of care) and were prepped for specific jobs for their future... Very interesting topic indeed. Didn't think Japan would be this stuck in time !
I've heard of the Saying in Japan " The Nail that Sticks Out Gets Hammered". As far as ponytails I just figure your trying to stay cool or keep the hair out of your eyes.
I need the men who passed these laws to grow their hair out that long and try to survive a Japanese summer without tying their hair up

I remember Shogo (from Let's ask Shogo) saying that the problem of Japanese culture is that it ended up having both collectivistic and individualistic aspects, but they fucked it up and, instead of having the best of both worlds, ended up being close to keeping only the downsides of collectivism and getting almost none of the upsides of individualism. It was in the video called "Why Bushido Is The Root Of All Social Problems In Japan".

This is just a clear example of victim blaming.
This begs something interesting, do you think the reason why characters in anime & manga are portrayed with crazy different colored hair style is for mangaka to subconsciously rebel against Japan's collective society?
After I heard about this kind of stuff years ago it did make me believe that was why. Plus how can you tell chars apart when most basically look the same outside of hair length?
this is actually an interesting topic, I want to know that too
its maybe a way for them to express them self, because they are or were unable to at a young age.
I'm pretty sure it's to help distinguishing between characters. It's kinda like how light novel writers will make their characters speak very differently, even when it's not a natural way of speaking for Japanese people in general.
I'm pretty sure it's only to make it easier to distinguish characters. Different hairstyles will make it easier for characters to be distinguished in Manga, and different hair colours make it easier for them to be distinguished in Anime. It's also more visually appealing that way in their artform. Not everyone thinks like the twitter crowd that believes everything does and should have a social or political commentary behind it.
It's just so infuriating that they would think to hold boys/men accountable and change the whole culture of misogyny, instead they put the burden on girls and women to adjust for the males.
What’s the point of parents paying for private school if this happens to their kids?

That was my thought at hearing this article. So now the male teachers/boys are trying to be like vampires because they see a 'bit of exposed' neck. The female students must be living in hell to not being able to wear a ponytail, especially on a hot, summer day (I think Japan still has schools in session and not on breaks like the west for summer months.

On the topic of proving your natiral hair color. When I was attending Japanese high school I had to, not only prove my natural hair color was light brown but also prove that my scandinavic hair becomes even lighter during summer. The change is not dramatic but apparently it was still too much for the school. I had to prove it with comparison pictures from previous years.
Also got scolded for having pierced my ears. I never wore earrings and I had pierced them when I was 6 years old. Way before I moved to Japan. I was told to cover my ears with my hair so other students won't get any ideas.
I am glad I am seeing more and more young people coloring their hair and expressing themselves. It is their time to stand out!
You don't need to color your hair to stand out. I think it's pretty narcissistic. You stand out by action not by appearance.
Wrong personal expression has no place at school it's your duty to not distract other students. You can do that personal expression shit at home.
@@catsbyondrepair Nope. its not a student’s job to regulate their appearance for other people. If you get distracted my brown hair or pierced ears, then that is a problem with you. You are accountable for your own learning. Learn some discipline.

We need to stop using the term Xenophobia, because it's becoming a cop out for the everyday racism that does happen in Japan. I lived there and I can say for a fact I experienced racism constantly. Not being able to blend in with a culture is a crazy concept in 2021, not so much 20 years ago. But can we stop acting like Japanese people in this day and age between 16-30 have never been exposed to anything except Asian or white, because it's just disgusting.
xenophobia is different from racism
Xenophobia and racism and often the same thing. It’s not a cop out, they’re both terrible. They dislike anyone one who isn’t ethically Japanese and born in japan which is both racist and xenophobic.
@@Kawaiicarly agreed. I have heard a lot of people separate the two terms as if xenophobia is the diet Coke version.
It's so sad cause we have seen countless characters in anime who aren't afraid to be different and follow their dreams in their own ways. I feel like authors are calling out their dreams and other Japanese people's, about a world where everyone can live as themselves.
That's a whole point of anime. That's why most anime main characters have unique hair color cause it symbolizes freedom and creativity that Japanese norm won't allow.
Agreed. I feel like the authors are definitely trying to send a message. They just want to live their lives freely but the society suffocates their desires. And hence why I feel anime and manga are a way of escapism for them.
Japan is not great as you think. The young people are literally slaves to a corporate society and no wonder their birth rate is on decline.

Its not a woman's responsibility if the man can control themselves. We have this issue in the US too. Can't have shoulders out cause it excites the boys. That's not our problem as a female. It's honestly ridiculous.

And your saying it’s the problem of males? Why are you following the narrative that those people made up about it sexually exciting men.

Thinking you need to express your uniqueness is just another way of conforming. You can just be yourself and not constantly express yourself in every little aspect of your life. But the more customizable you are...the more they can sell you.
I don't understand why it's so hard for some dudes to just... not be creeps. I'm a straight guy with lots of acquaintances who are both girls and very attractive, but you don't see me using that as an excuse to be a sleazy piece of shit.
I get that that's not the point here, but still. I can't help but feel like a lot of men need to learn that you simply *CANNOT* treat real people the same way you treat pornstar personas or fictional characters. No real-life woman should have to be afraid of sexual harassment or assault just because some dude thinks her ponytail is hot.
Yes, self control and not being sleazy goes without saying but I think japanese work culture produce these kinds of men. All they do is work. No time or energy for a healthy dating life. Doesn't justify it but probably the reason. It won't matter how they wear the hair or what clothes they wear, nothing will change.

It's like you'd swear there's blokes in this world that would see a women covered head to toe in a burka. And get excited because they can see her eyelashes.
Some fucking self control. I'm begging people.
I worked at a lot of junior high schools around Japan and they all have rules for the girls that if their hair is long enough it must be in a ponytail or pigtails. This rule makes no sense in my experience. I’ve worked at an all boys school now for a few years so maybe it’s changed.
I’ve seen a girl in elementary school with brown hair who a teacher I worked with had to spray her hair black everyday once she entered our jhs. I think getting sex offenders out of schools is more important than hair color or style…
Jep. Get sex offenders and control freaks out of schools. Those people are TEACHING our children, think about what values and behaivours they introduce to them.
A teacher should behave better than a petty tyrant.
To be honest, I had to tie my hair already short hair into a ponytail (which was near impossible) and I still don't get it.
Girls had to wear ponytails in my school too and they gave the reason that they might wear earphones during classes and exams and use hairs to hide them. Boys weren't allowed to have long hair for that reason
Don't believe fake news by foreigners. That is why you are having doubts. Stop watching this TH-camrs that spreads fake news.
I've heard some time ago most of these weird rules (like the mandatory black hair) are enforced by the city's education board and only apply to public schools and most private schools are more flexible. It made sense to me since public schools have the incentive to reinforce the government values but watching you say it's more common among private schools made me confuse. I guess elite private schools also want to sustain a pure and virtuous image since most of their students will be relevant figures one day.
I would ask the school administrators to explain how they came to that conclusion. What are the facts, research studies, and data that led to that conclusion.
I think it's good that the younger Japanese population is starting to express themselves more openly. It may be a bad time for them for a while because of how structured the society is, but over time that's how cultural change always happens. It takes generations to change a culture, for better or worse. I think it would be a shame for Japanese culture to just become like the West is, but I do think that over time Japanese society will loosen up. It probably won't happen in our lifetimes though.
Edit: The sudden widespread global popularity of anime will likely have a huge influence on all of this as well. As Japan becomes more globally conscious and the world at large becomes more conscious of Japan in turn, I think there will be greater societal pressure to become more individually liberated like the west is.
that's why i love the gyaru and visual kei aspect of the japanese culture
Japan could careless about what people think about them. They only listen to their people
"I think there will be greater societal pressure to become more individually liberated like the west is."
Basically, a taste of their own medicine lol
I don't think Japanese culture is going to just 'be like the west is' in any stretch even if the younger generation change things and make them loosen up. What needs to change is the things that hurt the society and I would hope that the Japanese children who will change it are smart enough to understand what should change and what shouldn't.
There is no need for Japan to loosen up and match West. Also don't trust rare fake news by this foreign TH-camr.
My Conservative American high school banned a bunch of Hair Styles but most of them were 2ft tall Mohawks because they'd be distracting. never once did the teachers think that ponytails would awaken something in us.
5 seconds in and I look at the news article and think “HUH?”
This is like reading a joke! And the scariest thing is that it's coming from adults, like what?!
Regarding the collectivist society in Japan, I think the Japanese saying, “出る釘は打たれる” which means the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, explains this well.
